The Gods walk among us, and great heroes of old return to visit. Truly, it is a glorious age we live in!
(I'm not usually like this, I swear. I'm just tired from entertaining The Cousins so the rest of our family could enjoy Christmas without being interrupted by swordfights around the dining room table)
I still exist?!
I even recognize like two of you who still post here. Wow, this is exciting. The board looks exactly the same as it did ten years ago. In fact, I would say . . . you haven't aged a day . . . :-|
Back to your regularly scheduled business!
~BeautyID (haven't busted out this username in a while, haha)
I wouldn't know about not aging, given as I'm part of a lovely crop of whippersnappers that popped out of the woodwork just this year. :)

And yes, sadly, it's almost exactly the same Board underneath. A bit dated, but the foundation is still level and the roof doesn't leak much.
Wow, you're quite an oldbie. Ten years is a long time. Warm welcome back from a pretty shiny newbie.
Woa, 10 years? ._.
You must be the oldest PPC member I've seen in here, also, your username is kind of familiar...
Hmmm....
Wait? Beauty in disguise....the constitution!
Wow.
Just wow.
I may be the oldest here for all I know. I'm not sure. I think I saw that Miss Cam posted a few pages back, pretty sure she was here before me. hS is at least almost as old as I am. In terms of joining the board, I mean. In real life he's two years older than me. Which means he's an olllllld man.
I joined the board in the summer or early fall of 2002. So yep, ten years. Good gracious. :S
How much different is the board now?
In terms of appearance, the board is exactly the same. In terms of who's posting, I recognize hardly any of the names now; but I haven't been on here in probably 5 or 6 years at least, so that's only to be expected. Not sure about anything else... it's been a long time since I frequented the board, and I haven't read through many of the messages since I found it again. In terms of when I first started posting, though, the board was a lot smaller... I want to say there were maybe 10-14 regular posters? But within a couple of years it had grown a lot.
Ello there, 'names World-Jumper, and this is my work in progress OC, Jumper.
(Pleased to make your aquatence!)
We are less than a month old on the board, so next to an oldby like you, all I'm saying is "waah wah, ga ga, goo goo." Oh well, good to see some old people.
Heh, here, have some denture cream, ya old coot!
Hello! It's great to see an Oldbie come back! Nice to meet you!
You likely won't know me, I've only been around four years or so. But welcome back! Have a cupcake with sprinkles.
*hides Ring of dread power infused with the strength of a Dark Lord* We're just well-preserved. :D
'ullo, chuckles. Yeah, we've been keeping the old place ticking over, the fires burning, and the metaphors like similies. As if we'd ever stop.
(We're far too sad for that. :P Welcome back)
hS
Of course you do. Cheer, hS. ;D
And that was meant to say 'cheers'. But I suppose you could take it as a command to cheer, if you like.
Oh my gosh. I don't remember if I've met you before! Hello again, have some lemming repellent! After all, the more things stay the same, the more things change! Or was that the other way around?
That's to say, we have more pits with more badfics, and more insanity than ever before!
...Beauty in Disguise, would you?
The one who signed the Original Constitution?
Good gracious, we've ben getting a lot of über-oldbies poking their heads in here these past few months...
Anyhoo, I'm SeaTurtle, the local distributor of hydrophobic water. Have some: it helps you solve bistromathic equations!
Yes, I am Beauty in Disguise. I see my reputation precedes me. :P Lovely to meet you, SeaTurtle. Some sort of psychic message must have gone out to us 'uber-oldbies', or maybe it's just the influence of The Hobbit calling us back.
Vhat has just happened...?
(Yes, I just shamelessly quoted My Little Pony. Deal with it. :D)
By the way, this psycho -points to self- is KittyNoodles. I'm new here. Er, new-ish.
And I agree with SeaTurtle; so many oldies lately! It makes me happy~!
